Such a nice thing to say, Aphrodite. I'm glad I could be there for you and you found comfort. I think gettng to know people "spirt-to-spirt" is more honest and can be more supportive in so many ways. I'm so much better at giving support than taking it, so feel free to lean anytime!
The funny part of my IRL friend is that since last week, she actually is questioning the "intensity" of my therapy. She thinks I should back off and not go so much, she's decided that I need medication (she's thought this for awhile) and I should "just" take care of myself. She doesn't know about the csa, though she is well aware of the other stressors in my life. I love her, but I don't want to defend myself to her, so I'm "fixing" things quickly to make her more comfortable. I think you can't really understand what it means to feel like I do, unless you've been there. I wouldn't have understood this 2 years ago, so I don't really expect too many people to either.
I wish I had a spouse to turn to, a partner who could just hold me close and shut it all out for awhile. I know you wish this too. I'm glad we have each other.
